The first one is the continent pillow set, that includes 3 pillows which represent the continents. This is a gift idea that can be considered by those that are creative; if they have talent, they can create pillows just like these and save some money. If you want to buy this set, you will have to take out of your pocket $95. This product is available at UncommonGoods, is made of cotton and the decorations are applied using a traditional Indian method, named Batik. This is used when the artisan wants to create patterns on fabric. This set is manufactured in India and allows you to rest your head on the North American pillow or immerse yourself into a dream world, while you are resting on the Asia/Australia or Africa/Europe versions. The materials used for the creation of these pillows are cotton and polyester. Each pillow has 15 inches in diagonal. These squared items are machine washable.

Because we are in October 2011 and 2012 is approaching with fast steps, the next gift is related to the new year. You know that in general old people forget to remember various information. Why not offer a help in this regard, by purchasing a personalized pocket journal for your dad? This product is cheaper than previous one, only $39, it is available at Orvis, includes major city maps (if your dad likes to travel) and a placeholder ribbon. The journal is printed on cream white, acid-free paper. It can be personalized, but with only 3 letters on the first cover. It has a softcover and 168 pages.

We must not forget that eating is a very important characteristic of humans. When you are old, usually you try to stay away from oils and fat foods. This is why I have selected a gift basket that contains award-winning foods that will surely satisfy any taste. Even though it contains raspberry honey mustard pretzel dip, almond pecan crunch, peanuts, which are in general good for everyone, the package contains also some chocolate treats, such as the key lime white chocolate chip cookies.

If the recipient does not like the chocolate or if he must not eat candies, you can forget the chocolate and order only the rest of the products that were named. This gift costs $59.99 on gourmetgiftbaskets.com.

The price of this potential gift is of $70. If the man uses an iPad, why not buy him a recycled mail sack iPad case? I am pretty sure that even though the person turns 60, he can still use various electronics. And the iPad is a device that can be used by almost anyone. And he will be glad that you will offer him a recycled product, this if the person loves the green environment.

If he enjoys reading, you have tones of options. The men at this age also appreciate a good wine bottle or a good set of cigarettes; the best advice I can give you is try to go to a specialized store with a person that can direct you to the best products.

One of the greatest presents is the gift certificate. There are many men who on this age take up golf as one of their hobbies or tennis; therefore, you can offer them a gift certificate at clubs that have these activities. If he has not tried on these sports, introduce him to these new activities. It will offer him the chance to loosen up a little bit and why not, socialize with different people.

Also, there are 60 years old men that jog every morning or at least every weekend in order to keep in shape; therefore, a new pair of snickers or a pedometer, might  tell him the distance he has traveled, the number of steps and even the calories he has burned.
